How UKZN scores you

Every university does this differently.

Partly checked

UKZN APS

UKZN adds six subjects on an 8-point scale (90-100% = 8, 80-89% = 7 ... 0-29% = 1), excluding Life Orientation. English, Mathematics (or Mathematical Literacy) and your best other subjects make up the six.

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • UKZN’s programme figures are from its 2026 documents (no 2027 table was published when we checked), so they are flagged as older.

BSc Eng Agricultural Engineering

UKZN APS 33 points out of 48

  • Mathematics: 65%

  • English: level 4 (50% or more)
  • Life Orientation: level 4 (50% or more)

The published APS range is 48-33. CONFIRMED 2026-10-02 for every discipline: a user-supplied copy of UKZN’s own Undergraduate Degree Requirements Guide lists Agricultural, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering as one merged table row sharing this exact entry text and APS range - so this is UKZN’s own stated position that all seven share the formula, not just an inference from Agricultural and Chemical’s own pages (both separately confirmed live, 2026-10-02). This comes from the Study@UKZN 2026 brochure, the most recent official source we could find. UKZN had not published a 2027 table when we checked, so treat these as 2026 figures pending a 2027 update.

BSc Computer Science & Information Technology

Agriculture, Engineering & Science · 3 years

UKZN APS 30 points out of 48

  • Mathematics: level 5 (60% or more)
  • English: level 4 (50% or more)
  • Life Orientation: level 4 (50% or more)
  • A science subject – Agricultural Science, Life Sciences or Physical Science at level 4.

CORRECTED 2026-10-02: a prior pass found UKZN’s own School of Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science page (via web search, not a raw fetch) stating English and Life Orientation at level 5, and switched to that figure over the 2026 Study@UKZN brochure’s level 4. A user-supplied copy of UKZN’s own Undergraduate Degree Requirements Guide now gives a third reading, and it agrees with the original brochure: English and Life Orientation at level 4. With two official UKZN documents now saying level 4 against one school-page search result saying level 5, we show level 4 as the majority reading but flag the conflict rather than discard the school page’s figure outright. Mathematics (level 5) and the APS range (48-30) are unchanged across all three sources.

Humanities 16

BEd Foundation / Intermediate / Senior-FET Phase

Humanities · 4 years

UKZN APS 28 points out of 48

  • English: level 4 if it is your Home Language, level 4 if it is your First Additional Language
  • Varies by phase – Foundation Phase (Grade R-3) also needs another official SA language at Home/First Additional Language level 4 and Mathematics level 3 or Mathematical Literacy level 4. Intermediate (Grade 4-6) and Senior/FET (Grade 7-12) need level 5 in two further subjects relevant to your chosen teaching package instead - see UKZN’s own guide for the exact list per package.

ADDED DETAIL 2026-10-02 from a user-supplied copy of UKZN’s own Undergraduate Degree Requirements Guide: the three phases share English Home/First Additional Language level 4 and this APS range (48-28), but differ in their other subject requirements - see the Foundation Phase detail above. A Matriculation Exemption route exists for all three phases via an NQF Level 4 National Certificate (Vocational) with a Bachelor’s-grade endorsement, considered through selection criteria at 32 points.

  • English: level 4 (50% or more)
  • Life Orientation: level 4 (50% or more)
  • Mathematics: level 3 (40% or more)

Read 2026-10-04 from the table in the Study@UKZN 2026 brochure (CAO code KN-P-BBA / KN-W-BBA); published APS range 48-26. The brochure prints the APS range but not the subject levels in a separate cell; the levels shown are those that sit with the Bachelor of Administration row above it. Check with UKZN. This comes from the Study@UKZN 2026 brochure, the most recent official source we could find. UKZN had not published a 2027 table when we checked, so treat these as 2026 figures pending a 2027 update. Applications go through the CAO.

All programmes - 2027 figures

The most recent official source found is the Study@UKZN brochure labelled 2026. No 2027 table was found on an official UKZN source. All UKZN rows are flagged as a dated document in the product. SPOT-CHECK 2026-10-01: direct fetches succeeded for chs.ukzn.ac.za and commerce.ukzn.ac.za (unlike most other universities blocked in this environment). MBChB and BCom Accounting were confirmed unchanged against their own live pages and moved off the dated brochure. LLB was spot-checked by search only and is unchanged (APS 32, same subject levels; an extended 28-31 band was also found). BSc Computer Science & Information Technology’s own School of Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science page (wp-smscs.ukzn.ac.za, reached via web search since its domain did not resolve for this pass’s fetch tool) states English and Life Orientation at level 5, not the level 4 the 2026 brochure gives - a genuine conflict, now shown via flag('conflict', ...) rather than silently resolved (see db/data/programs-ukzn.mjs). Engineering and BCom General were not re-checked this pass and remain on the dated brochure.

User-supplied Undergraduate Degree Requirements Guide - cross-check against every captured programme

RESOLVED most of ukzn-2027-table and ukzn-engineering-bcom-2026-10-02 at once: the user supplied UKZN’s own "Undergraduate Degree Requirements Guide" PDF (filename suggests a 2025 edition, but content matches or supersedes the 2026 Study@UKZN brochure already on file), covering all four colleges - Health Sciences, Law & Management Studies, Humanities, Agriculture/Engineering/Science - in one document with CAO codes. Cross-referenced against every UKZN row in programs-ukzn.mjs. Three real corrections found: the Engineering Access Programme is 5 years, not the 3 previously shown; Bachelor of Optometry was missing English and Life Orientation level 4 entirely and wrongly required both Life Sciences AND Physical Sciences rather than either one; BSc Computer Science & IT’s English/Life Orientation conflict (see earlier log entry) now has a third source favouring level 4 over level 5, 2-1, so the shown figure flipped back. Added Foundation Phase subject detail to the previously vague BEd row. All other cross-checked figures (MBChB, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, LLB, BCom Accounting, BCom General, BA/BSocSc General) matched exactly, confirming them a second time. Not yet added: Architectural Studies and eight Health Sciences programmes (Audiology, Speech-Language Therapy, Dental Therapy, Dietetics & Human Nutrition, Medical Science: Anatomy, Medical Science: Physiology, Occupational Therapy, Oral Hygiene, Sport Science) that this document fully details but which have no row in programs-ukzn.mjs yet - a good next pass, with the source material already in hand.

Engineering disciplines beyond Agricultural - second confirmation

Chemical Engineering’s own live page (engineering.ukzn.ac.za/disciplines/chemical-engineering/) independently confirms the shared formula (APS 33-48, Maths/Physical Science Level 5/65%, English/Life Orientation Level 4/50%) - a second discipline confirming it, after Agricultural. Also checked and still unconfirmed on their own pages: Civil ("currently being uploaded"), Mechanical (no numeric detail, only general guidance), and the combined Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering hub page (confirms these are three genuinely separate degrees, as already modelled, but states no admission figures for any of them). None contradict the shared formula. The user tried applications.ukzn.ac.za first but it was inaccessible, then found gostudy.net (a third-party aggregator, not UKZN’s own site, and showing the wrong programmes) - not used as a source per this file’s no-official-source-no-entry rule.

ukzn-2027-table: the Engineering and BCom General rows named as "not re-checked" in that entry

RESOLVED to a live spot-check (still not 2027-dated - see caveat below). BCom General: confirmed unchanged by a direct fetch of its own live page, clms.ukzn.ac.za/bachelor-of-commerce-general-bcom/ (30 NSC points excluding Life Orientation, Mathematics/English/Life Orientation all level 4) - this is now cited to that page instead of the 2026 brochure, though the page itself carries no visible year label either, so [dated-document] still applies in spirit even though the citation changed. Engineering: Agricultural Engineering’s own live discipline page (engineering.ukzn.ac.za/discipline/agricultural-engineering/) confirmed the shared formula (APS 33-48, Mathematics and Physical Science level 5/65%, English and Life Orientation level 4/50%) unchanged from the brochure - but Civil Engineering’s own equivalent page states its admission-requirements section is "currently being uploaded", so the other six engineering disciplines (Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical) and Land Surveying still rest on the brochure/faculty-wide convention rather than each having its own confirmed page. Also newly found and not yet added: a CASSE alternative-access programme for Engineering, APS 26-48, NSC Maths/English/Life Orientation/Physical Science all level 4 - distinct from the existing `ukzn-eng-access` row, which has no APS and may be describing the same or a different programme; worth reconciling the two in a future pass rather than guessed at here.
